Things to do in Kawagoe

Booking my ticket for the Tokyo National Museum on Trip.com was fast and easy. I received the e-ticket immediately on my phone, which let me skip the long ticket counter line at the entrance. Scanning the QR code at the gate took only a few seconds.​As a solo visitor, exploring the museum was completely stress-free. The location inside Ueno Park is very easy to reach from Ueno Station. Inside the galleries, the signs and maps are clearly marked in English. There are also convenient coin lockers near the entrance to store your bags, making walking around comfortable.

There are many attractions in Kawagoe Kitain, including the Five Hundred Arhats and the tombs of the three generals who guarded Kawagoe Castle!

So much fun with the family at Tokyo Tower! We loved the great views and good vibes. ❤️🗼

I went on Saturday, and it was quite crowded. Once inside, you had to scan a QR code to get a photo opportunity with the characters, and that was only available for the afternoon. The boat parade pass was also only available for single people. It's an indoor amusement park, so there aren't many attractions. There are shows to watch, and you can eat various character-themed foods, which are very cute. There are also shops, Ichiban Kuji (a type of prize), claw machines, gashapon (capsule toys), etc.

you will really feel the ambiance of Europe when you visit Disney sea. Tripod for camera is not allowed.

Very worth a visit. If you like the little Scandinavian inspired area around you're bound to have a fun time walking not only in moomin valley park, but also at metsa village!

Upon arrival, I was struck by the simple and unpretentious environment, but after settling in, I discovered its subtle charm. There was no deliberate attempt at luxury; the plain walls were warmed by the sunlight, and the colorful paintings at the corners shimmered with soft hues, like a corner of the evening glow captured in the room. The floors were made of old wood, making no harsh sounds underfoot. The staff spoke softly, and even the tea served was lukewarm. Without any unnecessary noise, sitting in a chair by the window and daydreaming, time seemed to slow down. It felt as if I had stepped into a secluded mountain retreat from an ancient painting, my heart gradually calming down, and I almost forgot my return date.

After walking a few steps out of the nearby hotel, I came across Kumano Shrine. I had planned to visit it before but gave up because I would miss the business hours. As a result, you can visit the shrine freely at night, and you can complete a series of actions such as money laundering and fortune-making! And it feels great when the lanterns are lit at night! It takes about 15 minutes to walk from Kawagoe Station~

Visiting the **Ghibli Museum** was a truly magical experience. It showcases the artistry behind animation, highlighting how Ghibli, a pioneer in the field, created beautiful films without modern computers. Seeing the meticulous process of hand-drawing and painting each frame was awe-inspiring.The museum's architecture and interior perfectly capture the whimsical and mysterious essence of the Ghibli world. While photography isn't allowed, this enhances the experience, urging fans to immerse themselves fully in the magic of the exhibits.Each entry ticket resembles a film strip from the animations, making it a beautiful keepsake of the visit. It’s no surprise that the Ghibli Museum remains a favorite among locals and tourists, with tickets often being hard to come by. Overall, my visit was unforgettable and a must-see for any Ghibli fan!
